My kids really loved the great setting of The Spanish Academy. Overlooking Mt. Si and the majestic Cascades, it is simply beautiful. There is a fenced pond with ducks and fish and frogs, a goat, rabbits, chickens, a pony and a cat. There is a teriffic play structure and grounds to keep the kids ""busy"". THe teachers are attentive and very interactive with the kids and with the small class sizes this school offers a much better teacher:student ration than we've experienced at other preschools. The total immersion is really complete, but the teachers are sensitive enough to situations that may require a wisper of english for those who haven't quite caught on yet ;-) We have found this school to teach the same curriculum as other preschools we've enrolled in, only this is in Spanish.\r
Not only is the preschool program fantastic, the Summer Camps offered are diverse and exciting for the kids. Every day my kids came home with something to share and more excitment than could be contained. We will definately sign-up for Summer Camp again!\r
I highly recomend this experience for anyone wishing to give their kids a headstart in life by exposing them to immersion spanish early in life- when it's easiest to learn! You may even pick up a little spanish yourself ;-)
